Engine: 400ci. V8
Transmission: 4 speed
Color: Red
Price: $11995

This 1968 Pontiac GTO is a solid barn find type vehicle with a few rare options. It has option 674, the chrome bumper rather than the Endura plastic bumper and hood tach option(missing).

The body looks solid throughout, mainly due to living in Arizona and has had a ‘new front floor pans and rear trunk filler panel installed by previous owner.’ The car wears its original red paint, with its original black vinyl top now long gone. A respray will be needed here as most of the panels look quite worn.

The interior looks relatively intact, but has a warn drivers seat, armrest and missing carpets. The good news is that the bulk of the interior is here ready to be restored, but has been nicely toasted by the Arizona sun.

The engine is non-numbers matching, the transmission is said to be original as with the 10 bolt Posi-traction rear end. Said to, ‘Runs good, stops and steers.’ The car sounds like it’s had some work done on it as above, along with new mufflers, shocks and either new or in extremely good condition wheels.

Is this one of those projects where someone started the work and just wants to pass on the project or are there hidden nasties waiting for the next owner?

With the chrome option bumper it does look more like a Lemans which isn’t going to appeal to GTO purists, but it is a strange rarity that could be worth a second look. There’s no mention of any paperwork like a build sheet, etc., but if everything check out this one could be a nice rarity. In good condition, you may be able to double your money here, but it’s also got the case of ‘rare isn’t always desirable’ as the Endura bumper is all GTO, without more the lower model LeMans.
